Crispy Pappadums
Crispy, flavorful pappadums are a perfect snack or appetizer, quickly fried to golden perfection and served with drinks at any occasion.
Equipment
- 25 cm (10 inch) frying pan
- slotted spoon
- Large platter lined with kitchen paper
Ingredients
- 10 pappadums or papars
- Oil for deep-frying enough to fill 5 cm or 2 inches in the frying pan
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Once hot, add one pappadum to the oil.
- It should sizzle and expand immediately.
- If it doesn’t, your oil isn’t hot enough.
- Turn the pappadum over, leave it for a few seconds, and remove it with a slotted spoon.
- Place it on a platter lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Continue frying the remaining pappadums one at a time, ensuring the oil is hot enough for each one.
- If the pappadums start to brown too quickly, reduce the heat as the oil is too hot.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with drinks.
